  1. “I wish to remind all speakers to limit their statements to no more than four minutes in order to enable the Council to carry out its work expeditiously. Delegations with lengthy statements are kindly requested to circulate the texts in writing and to deliver a condensed version when speaking in the Chamber. I wish to inform all concerned that we will be carrying on this open debate right through the lunch hour, as we have a very large number of speakers. I now give the floor to the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Romania.”

  2. “Based on the experience of Indonesia's peacekeepers, mastery of soft-skills, or people-to-people skills, has been demonstrated to positively contribute to building the trust of local communities. Furthermore, intelligence-gathering skills are necessary to ensuring the success of early-warning systems to detect and prevent potential humanitarian crises. The twentieth anniversary of the first Security Council resolution on the protection of civilians should serve as a reminder not only of our political commitments, but also our duty to implement those commitments to ensure the primacy of human safety and security. After all, the United Nations was established upon the mandate "we the peoples of the United Nations". We cannot afford to let our people down. I now resume my functions as President of the security Council.”

  3. “That ultimately requires respect for international humanitarian and human rights laws by State and non-State actors alike. To that end, we believe that engagement with all parties to a conflict is crucial to encourage them to implement the existing legal frameworks. Thirdly, we must pursue innovative and practical ways to protect civilians on the ground. As the front line, United Nations peacekeepers and humanitarian actors remain our primary agents. As such, the skill sets and capacities of peacekeepers and humanitarian actors must continuously be updated and strengthened so that they can be better equipped in tackling new and emerging challenges on the ground.”

  4. “Recognizing that women and children face the highest risks in situations of conflict, the participation of women in such programmes will help increase their effectiveness. For its part, Indonesia has been proactive in efforts to empower Palestinian communities to allow them to gain better access to basic needs. Just three years ago, we built a hospital in Gaza that has provided much- needed health-care and eased the suffering of civilians living under the occupation. Secondly, ensuring effective implementation and compliance is key. We already have in place the normative frameworks guiding the protection of civilians in armed conflicts, namely, the Fourth Geneva Convention and a number of United Nations resolutions. The challenge now is how to effectively implement them.”

  5. “The task of protecting civilians lies primarily in the hands of the State concerned, particularly with regard to upholding the rule of law and establishing good governance. However, as States in conflict often have limited capacity to do so, international partnerships become crucial to address the root causes of the conflicts and enable them to emerge from conflict into a better, more secure future. Moreover, community engagement and empowerment also play an important role in developing national capacities. In that regard, civilian protection programmes should be tailor-made to the needs of affected communities. Local leaders and community members, especially women, must become part of the design and implementation of such programmes.”

  6. “Under the mandate of the Charter of the United Nations, all 15 countries represented around this table bear the collective responsibility to end and reverse that travesty. The adoption of resolution 1265 (1999) was a truly momentous achievement. It affirms the Council's commitment to humankind in line with the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention. Over the years, the world has come to a better understanding on the multidimensional nature of this agenda, from addressing physical threats to ensuring the delivery of humanitarian assistance, and from peacekeeping to peacebuilding and sustaining peace. In order to strengthen the implementation of the protection of civilians agenda, there are some pertinent points worth considering. First, the national capacities of the concerned must be strengthened.”

  7. “Over the years, we have been unwavering in advocating the protection of human rights and humanitarian access for civilians in conflict and post-conflict situations. I have made this position crystal clear in addressing, inter alia, the recent situations in Palestine, Syria, and Yemen. In situations of conflict, the safety and security of civilians, the safety and security of people, must always come first. In other words, the protection of civilians must continue to underpin our work at the Security Council. Yet the path leading towards that noble objective continues to be plagued with challenges. As the Secretary-General has reported, the state of civilian protection today remains similar to that of 20 years ago. That is truly a source of concern.”

  8. “I thank Mr. Borello for his briefing. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as Minister for Foreign Affairs of Indonesia. Indonesia welcomes this opportunity to preside over today's open debate marking the twentieth anniversary of the Security Council's adoption of the first-ever resolution on the protection of civilians in armed conflict - resolution 1265 (1999) - and coinciding with seventieth anniversary of the Fourth Geneva Convention - part of the backbone of international humanitarian law. The protection of civilians in armed conflict has been an integral part of Indonesia's constitutional mandate and foreign policy, and sets the tone for the theme of our Security Council presidency, namely, "Investing in peace".”
